A coming-of-middle-age memoir, about the search for love, friendship and the ever-elusive Mr Darcy. Prince Charming? Happily ever after? Childhood fairy tales are full of promises, but the reality - life - is a very different story. And that story has a hell of a lot to teach us. Written with honesty, humour and warmth, Christina Ford looks back on four decades of dates, loves, marriages, friendships, affairs, divorces, parenting disasters and stepparenting nightmares. For all those who have ever wondered if there is life after divorce, sex after 40, or who have had their heart broken and questioned if they will ever find love again, this is a reaffirming rallying call that mid-life is exactly that - the middle and not the end. AUTHOR: Christina Ford is a former TV and film executive who crossed continents to be with a man � and you can guess how that turned out. She lives in London and documents her life in her blog A Broad in London. This is her first book.

Inspired in her youth by Jane Austen's iconic character, Mr. Darcy, Ford embarks on a quest paralleling Austen�s narrative, weaving her aspirations and experiences into a compelling tale. This book is not just a chronicle of romantic endeavors but also a tapestry of life lessons gleaned from various encounters.

She offers a candid and honest reflection on these experiences, including her trials in love, the complexities of marriage, and the eventual path to divorce. Her story is punctuated by poignant anecdotes illustrating her growth and resilience, especially as a single mother raising two daughters.
The book shines a light on the essence of personal evolution, emphasizing that time is a crucial element in shaping one's character. Ford's experiences, particularly her approach to aging and her willingness to embrace change, impart valuable insights. Her perspectives on trusting one's instincts and the importance of self-renewal resonate deeply. Ford's directness and frankness lend a unique authenticity to her narrative, making it particularly engaging. Her life, characterized by unexpected turns and a willingness to follow her heart, serves as an inspiration for living fully and embracing each moment.
In Search of Mr. Darcy appeals to a wide audience, offering wisdom for women of all ages and walks of life. Ford's journey, while deeply personal, taps into universal themes of self-discovery and empowerment. Her story encourages readers to confront challenges and nurture their best selves, making it a valuable addition to the genre of personal memoirs.
